Lot Description

1935-D Buffalo Nickel. MS-66 (NGC). CAC. OH. From a mintage of 12,092,000 pieces, not a particularly generous total for a late date Buffalo nickel, but sufficient enough to make this issue readily obtainable in circulated and lower Mint State grades. Finding a top quality Uncirculated example will prove to be a challenging endeavor under normal market conditions for, as David W. Lange (2000) notes, "1935-D is the last date in the series for which weak striking is a serious obstacle to locating a satisfactory example." Not only is the coin offered here uncommonly well produced, but it is also expertly preserved with vivid multicolored iridescence to both sides. Provenance: From the Old Time Buffalo Set. NGC Census: 52; 14 finer (MS-68 finest). PCGS# 3975. NGC ID: 22SP. Click here for certification details from NGC.
